what do you think of Promaster lenes
I have a 28-70mm Macro Zoom lens which takes great pictures. I was just wondering if the brand is still good in todays market!! I got mine from my dad when I started taking pictures. My sigma 28-200 zoom lens is not performing like it used to, so I'm looking into getting a new lens!! Any suggestions would be wonderful!! I use a Pentax *istDS!! Thank you for your input!!

Hi Michelle, This is a hard question to answer because I don't know what you like to take pictures of. If you are going to do alot of inside shooting were it is dark I would get a 2.8 len are faster because of the low light. I too use the Pentax istDS camera and I have a 28 - 200 Promaster lens which to me works great as a all around lens. I also have a Tamrom lens, Sigma lens, and a Pentax lens. So it really is up to you on what type of lens you get. Hope this helps you out a little bit. Ric

Thank you Ric for your response!!! I mostly shoot outdoors or indoors by the window for natural light. Is the Promaster cheaper than the Sigma or are they about the same? Thanks again!!

Michelle, I'm not sure which is cheaper. You will have to take a look at both lens and figure out what would be the best for you. But if I had to quess I would say the Promaster would be the cheaper lens. Ric

Be advised--promaster lenses today are just Tamron lenses. Tamron makes the Promaster line. I have the Promaster 28-300 and it's a good all purpose lens. It's not professional quality, but it serves me well for many situations. Of three finalists I recieved this month, two were taken with that lens. If you shoot digital I'd suggest the Tamron (or promaster) 18-200 as it will give you true wide angle with your digital crop factor. Karma
